EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and thought-provoking image from 1884, we see the spirits of two of America's greatest presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, looking solemnly at a throne draped with the American flag. The sign above them poses a question that resonates through history: "This coming term will end the first hundred years of the American presidency. Shall the century begun with Washington at the head of government end in disgrace with James G. Blaine in that sacred chair?"
Below them stands James G. Blaine, depicted as a figure tainted by scandals and corruption, his hat labeled as such falling off his head as he hesitantly takes a step towards the presidency. The contrast between these three figures is stark - on one side, Washington and Lincoln embodying honor and integrity, while on the other side Blaine represents greed and dishonesty.
The symbolism in this print is striking - it serves as a reminder of the values upon which America was founded and challenges us to consider what kind of leadership we want for our country. As we reflect on our past leaders and their legacies, may we strive to uphold the principles that they stood for and ensure that our nation's future remains bright and just.
